Nikol Pashinyan Reduces Circle of Trusted Associates

Nikol Pashinyan has noticeably reduced his circle of trusted associates; according to our information, recently he has unconditionally trusted two members from his team: Deputy Speaker of Parliament Alen Simonian and Minister Suren Papikyan. Among the trusted associates are also the chief of staff Arsen Torosyan and advisor Arayik Harutyunyan, while the faction is managed through Arpi Davoyan, Hakob Simidian, and Hayk Sargsyan from the 'My Step' bloc.

These are the people who travel with him to the regions. There are jokes that when Pashinyan’s car is ready to leave, Arpi Davoyan is already at the visit location. This has caused dissatisfaction within the team, and some are trying to rebuild bridges and resolve various issues, but Pashinyan is not in a hurry to meet everyone's desires and may have decided to prepare the electoral list without external pressures.
